• I have had the good fortune of working with Michelle Bowden, preparing new keynote speaking material together for the 2009 Thought Leaders Winter Showcase. Michelle provided me meaningful advice in a no-nonsense fashion which undoubtedly allowed my presentation to reach the heights it did. Michelle's knowledge and coaching ability in the field of presentation is without peer, and as any expert should do, Michelle delivers at the highest calibre when speaking herself; she walks the talk! I am a real fan of everything she does, and cannot recommend her highly enough.

• Your facilitation skills and the now famous 'tequila' sessions were outstanding. The comments I received in particular from the Motivation of Employees session were fantastic. The participants took notice of the key messages in a memorable and fun way. It could have been a difficult session to run, but your skills were certainly evident in the way you transformed the exercise into a thought provoking, intellectual and insightful learning session for all levels of our middle and senior management.

  Strategic Marketing Matters
• I have worked with Michelle on several occasions and each time she has surprised me with her energy, her talent and her expertise in a field others only flounder in. She has the skill to engage her audience and take them on a journey to discover their own skills. Her integrity and work ethic shine through in every presentation, training and mentoring session I have been privileged to attend. She has taken on the mantle of expert and wears it well without condescension.

• Michelle Bowden's presentation at the 2010 Coleman Greig Women in Business Conference was fantastic. When you are organising events and speakers for conferences, you always hope that your participants will find the sessions interesting and informative. With Michelle's session, we had no reservations whatsoever: everyone absolutely loved her high-energy, interactive and fun workshop! It was practical, relevant and most of all, she presented with such passion and enthusiasm that you couldn't help but feel inspired. From helping our participants to 'speak up', to developing better communication, presentation and influencing skills, Michelle showed all of our attendees how to achieve their dreams and realise their full potential. We would definitely recommend Michelle for any speaking engagements!

  Clubs NSW
• I recently had the pleasure of attending a session on 'speak up and influence people in clinical trials' presented by Michelle Bowden. I found the session both interesting and very useful and Michelle was a highly entertaining and engaging speaker. A few days later I had to present myself and the message was a difficult one to deliver. After Michelle's session I changed the way I delivered the content; I have no doubt it helped the audience to accept my message and gave them a renewed vigour for the trial. Many thanks!
  Roche Products Pty Ltd
• Michelle took the time to research the audience and definitely tailored her presentation. She was great to work with and the follow up brilliant.
